Our verdict on Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2 is a third-person, squad-based shooter set in a hostile galaxy, built around online missions against alien threats. It is aimed at players who want coordinated co-op action: a squad can include up to four players, with PC–PS5 cross-play available. Missions also contribute to a shared Galactic War, giving squad sorties a collective objective beyond the immediate fight. Players seeking a solo-focused or offline game should look elsewhere, since online play is required and the listed features center on co-op missions.

Combat planning combines customizable loadouts and weapon selection with call-in stratagems, including turrets and airstrikes. These give squads options for coordinating their approach rather than relying only on direct shooting. The shared-war structure is another defining feature: missions contribute to a wider campaign, while the core activity remains third-person combat with a group. That mix suits players who enjoy both tactical coordination within a mission and participation in a larger collective effort.

The listed offer is the Standard Edition at $39.99 as a one-time purchase, with the base game included; there is no free plan. The verified platform coverage is Windows, while cross-play connects PC and PS5 players. That distinction matters for buyers: cross-play supports teaming across those platforms, but the listed PC platform is Windows. Helldivers 2 is a sensible choice for a Windows player who wants paid, online squad shooting with tactical call-ins and shared-war missions. Players who need offline play or prefer a different verified PC platform should consider another game.
